Take Notes

There are two kinds of notes available: Fill in notes and Free Form notes.

FILL IN NOTES

• Access this weekend’s notes from the home page in the Fill In Notes section

• Click on any blue underlined section to fill in the blank. Or, leave it as is — the fill in answer is already there for you to follow along with!

• Fill in your own notes in the free-form notes section. Click on the free form note icon (looks like a dialogue box) to type in your own notes.

• In order to save the notes, EMAIL them to yourself. When you are done, click the EMAIL button at the bottom. The fill ins answer will all show up whether or not you added anything. You will receive the notes within an email message and as a PDF attachment.

Free Form Notes

Any message will also have a “Take a Note” link below it. You can tap on this to take a free form (no fill ins) note.

With Notes, each of your notes are in one place, easy to access on the go, and stored in your app. Access the Side Menu to find all your stored notes. When you tap on “Take a Note” you will be prompted to log in with your email or via Facebook. This will ensure the notes will be saved and always be accessible to you within the app. These notes will sync across all devices, so you don’t have to worry about transferring them if you get a new phone or want to use a tablet.
